Of all crafts, glass blowing is the most spectaculair. Fire, skill, power and years of experience are necessary to shape the hot substance in a way that something beautiful come into existence. Glass blowing seems easy, but is very difficult. The most beautiful location to admire this old craft is the historical wooden hangar of the Glasblazerij Leerdam. Sitting on the tribune you'll have a good view on what is happening on the workfloor.

The National Glass Museum has a permanent glass collection, and also organises various changing exhibitions, including in the spacious museum garden. Adjacent to the garden is Cochius' Keuken, the museum café.
